Catch an MLB game

TheBetterHalf and I decided to take TheKiddo to see the Yankees vs the Rangers at the Ballpark in Arlington. We picked the evening game because fireworks were scheduled to follow the game.

First pitch was at 7:05, so we figured we'd be done with the game and fireworks by 11. Didn't happen.

Instead, the game went into extra innings and the Rangers set a record (not sure if it's team or MLB) for using 11 pitchers. Pitching changes seem to add years to the length of a game.

The Ballpark is a wonderful place. And even sitting high in the upper deck, we had a great view of the action. (That was not a successful steal of second, by the way.)

Granted, concession prices are outrageous. That's simply a fact of life at any professional sporting event.

TheKiddo enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as a Dallas Mavericks home game. Don't know that we'll do it again. Especially since we had to bail before the end of the game and didn't see fireworks. But it's definitely worth doing once.

And the Midnight stop at IHOP was fun. Though I didn't expect to see Kraft mac & cheese on the menu for 5 bucks a pop.
